Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

25 Machine gun positions show their power and support the Sichuan Army

"Okay, since we want to fight.

I plan to set up the ambush position by the small river in the south."

"Xiao Fei, map."

After hearing Ye Qingshan's words, Han Xiaofei immediately took out a map from the map bag he was carrying and spread it on the ground.

Ye Qingshan pointed at the map and continued, "Just before we besieged this Japanese squadron.

I have already observed the terrain around this small river in the south.

There are bushes on both sides, which are suitable for hiding and setting up our machine gun positions.

There is a hillside in front, which serves as our main position.

This is also the route that the Japanese troops must take when fleeing northward.

To the east and west, there are positions of our main forces. No matter which direction they go, it will be a dead end.

Their only escape route was to the north.

But now that they have reached this point, we can no longer allow them to continue moving north.

Otherwise they will see the traces of the battlefield we have left behind.

They will notice something is wrong, and it will be difficult to ambush successfully."

“But an ambush in this place also has disadvantages.

The terrain is just not dangerous enough.

After the Japanese were ambushed, if they launched a strong attack, we would be under a lot of pressure."

Ye Qingshan also knew that the small river in the south was not the best ambush location.

The best ambush location is actually Huanghualing where Ye Qingshan and his group are at this time.

However, as the battlefield just now, this place still has the smell of gunpowder and various traces of the battlefield.

They can't eliminate it in a short time.

It is not so easy to ambush the Japanese coming from the south again here.

You really think the Japanese are fools.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan had no choice but to choose to move the ambush position south.

“I think so.

How can there be no casualties in war?

The small river in the south is indeed our only most suitable ambush position.

That's it. "

Zhou Pingkou also agreed.

"Then do it!"

"I have no objection."

Lu Dahai and others shook their heads and had no objections.

"Okay, since you all agree.

Then I will make battle arrangements!

This time, I will concentrate all the light and heavy machine guns of the entire platoon for use.

Divided into three airport positions,

Dahai, Zheng Quezi, Lao Dong, the three of you will lead one place each.

They are arranged here, here, and on this hillside."

Ye Qingshan pointed to the specific location on the map and said to the three people.

"This time, the Japanese troops only need to enter the ambush position.

Our three machine gun positions can form cross fire.

I want you to cripple and disperse the Japanese troops as soon as possible.

Don't save your bullets for me, just hit me hard.

Understand? "

"understand!"

The three nodded.

"Captain Zhou, you will be responsible for a different mission this time.

I will leave this Type 92 infantry gun and the other grenade throwers in your charge.

As the heavy firepower support, I will be in charge of the main position."

"Row!"

Zhou Pingkou also responded.

He knew that Ye Qingshan really had no artillery to use at the moment, so he had no choice but to let him go into battle.

“Now that everyone understands their respective tasks.

Then let's split up.

Each of them led their team to the preset position.

The Japanese will be here in half an hour at most.

We don’t have much time.”

"Yes."

Soon, everyone went their separate ways.

Ye Qingshan then found Lao Yandai, who was in charge of logistics.

"Captain, what do you want me to do?"

When Old Tobacco Pipe saw Ye Qingshan find him, he knew that Ye Qingshan had a task for him.

"Old pipes, the old Hanyang-made, old sleeve weapons and bullets that Dahai and Lame replaced.

Are you still there? "

Ye Qingshan asked.

“Yes.

I have never been willing to throw it away.

It was inconvenient to carry it, but we seized twelve mule carts from the Japanese.

With those big carts, it’s much easier to carry those weapons.”

Old Yandai pulled out a Hanyang-made pistol from a mule cart and said to Ye Qingshan.

"very good."

Ye Qingshan also laughed when he saw the Hanyang-made sword.

"I'll let Black Bear lead the reconnaissance squad to protect you, and you take people to get the weapons and ammunition we've eliminated.

Send it to the back, to the hands of two Sichuan Army Corps. "

"We should still have quite a few Type 38 rifles left, right?"

Ye Qingshan continued to ask.

"Well, there should be more than eighty that no one is using."

"Send them all, and also send them a batch of grenades."

"Ah. Captain.

Really give it all to them.”

I'm a bit reluctant to part with my old pipe, they're all brand new Type 38 cigarettes.

"Yes, all given to the Sichuan Army.

It would be a bit difficult for us to wipe out these two squadrons of Japanese devils on our own.

We need the cooperation of these two Sichuan Army Corps.

So, we have to increase their firepower.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. As long as we kill these two squadrons of devils,

Are you still worried about not being able to capture more Type 38 rifles? "

"That's right!"

The old man also came to his senses and said, “Okay, leave this task to me.

I will take the people out right away."

After watching Old Tobacco Follow Black Bear's reconnaissance squad, Ye Qingshan immediately set off with the main force.

Soon, they crossed the mountains in the south and entered the ambush position chosen by Ye Qingshan.

Urgently dig trenches and set up machine gun positions.

The gunshots from the south were getting closer.

The Japs are approaching here.

"The enemy's vanguard is approaching, everyone get into position and hide."

Ye Qingshan received a signal from the soldiers watching in the south, and immediately shouted to everyone.

Not long after, a dozen Japanese soldiers appeared in the field of vision in a panic.

"Don't worry, this is the vanguard of the devils.

Let them go first."

Ye Qingshan said to the soldier next to him.

A dozen Japanese soldiers quickly waded across the stream and continued to move forward.

Ye Qingshan ignored them.

Soon, a large number of Japanese soldiers from behind caught up quickly.

Because there were two Sichuan Army Corps troops behind them, chasing them all the time.

The main force of the Japanese invaders retreated in a hurry and was not far away from the vanguard troops in front.

But even these devils were retreating, even though there were a large number of pursuers behind them.

But their formation was not in chaos, and they were still taking turns to cover their retreat.

On the Battle of Songhu, the troops sent over were the Japs' elite troops, and these Japs soldiers were extremely fierce.

Ye Qingshan silently picked up his 98K, put the scope on a Japanese sergeant, and then pulled the trigger.

boom!

A gunshot rang out and the Japanese sergeant fell down.

"Fire!"

And Ye Qingshan's shot was the order to attack.

In an instant, the soldiers in the three hidden machine gun positions opened fire.

Da da da!

There was intensive gunfire on both sides of the stream and on the hillside in front.

Countless bullets rained down on the appearing Japanese soldiers like a rainstorm.

You know, this time Ye Qingshan gathered the four Type 92 heavy machine guns that they had previously seized from the Japanese.

There are also fourteen other Type 99 light machine guns, whose firepower is more powerful than that of an entire main regiment of the National Army.

Immediately, many Japanese soldiers who were still wading across the river fell down in large numbers.

The advantages of the ambush position chosen by Ye Qingshan were also revealed at this time.

Because the Japs were crossing the river and wading forward.

Suddenly under intensive fire, they were unable to lie on the ground and fight back as they usually did.

Although this stream is not deep, it is still not higher than the knees of the Japanese.

How can I lie down? I will choke to death if I lie down.

Helplessly, the Japs had no choice but to grit their teeth and wade across the river under the dense machine gun bullets.

This is what the Japanese in front thought.

The Japanese soldiers behind who had not yet entered the water could no longer do so.

Suddenly, the two squadrons of Japanese soldiers, more than 200 people, were divided into two parts, front and back.

Countless Japanese soldiers’ corpses fell into the river, dyeing the water red.

At the beginning of this fierce attack, at least thirty or forty Japanese soldiers were sent to meet their Amaterasu.

Boom boom boom!

The Type 92 infantry gun commanded by Zhou Pingkou also opened fire immediately afterwards.

Bombard the position of the Japanese grenade throwers on the river bank.

Other grenade throwers, under Zhou Pingkou's arrangement, fired shells from all directions, blowing the Japanese to pieces.

"Baga, why are the Chinese using our infantry artillery?"

On the Japanese side, a lieutenant officer was also extremely angry as he looked at the Type 92 infantry gun on the hillside that was firing at them.

“Sure enough, something happened in the Second Squadron.

Their infantry guns were captured by the Chinese."

Another Japanese squadron leader said immediately.

Basically, things were pretty much as they had guessed before.

Their squadron outside was indeed discovered by the Chinese.

That's why they heard the sound of gunfire coming from the north.

This made them change their previous plan and choose to break out.

It is also because we know that there may be Kuomintang troops in the north.

These devils were very careful when they retreated to the north.

But unfortunately, he still couldn't escape the fate of being ambushed by Ye Qingshan and his men.

"Baga, it's not just our Type 92 infantry gun.

Why were so many of our light and heavy machine guns also captured by the Chinese? "

The Japanese lieutenant officer was looking at the three machine gun positions on the left and right sides and on the hillside in front of him, which were still crazily firing at them.

Listening to those machine guns, that very familiar sound.

He was angry and confused.

"It is possible that the one who ambushed us was a main force of the Chinese."

Another Japanese squadron leader next to him couldn't figure it out either, so he could only think of this guess and said.

In their view, only the main force of the National Army could have such firepower.

Only then would it be possible to use so many weapons captured from their army.

After all, the Battle of Songhu has been going on for so long.

Although the National Army suffered a series of defeats, it had no problem seizing a batch of weapons and equipment from the Japanese.

At this time, the two Japanese squadron leaders certainly could not have thought of this.

Ye Qingshan and his men not only ambushed and killed their second squadron.

Even their battalion headquarters, transport squadron, and the earliest three squadrons had been completely wiped out by Ye Qingshan and his men.

These Type 92 infantry guns, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns all came from their battalion.

Now, they have all been taken by Ye Qingshan and his men to destroy them.

"Set up the guns, set up the guns.

Grenade thrower, blow up the Chinese infantry gun and their machine gun position."

After suffering heavy casualties at the beginning, the other Japanese soldiers quickly stabilized their position and began to try to counterattack.
